Description
Job overview
Hi, I'm Kristy, a Respiratory Physiotherapist working across the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Team and the Community Respiratory Team. We are looking for a Band community Respiratory Physiotherapist. Our team works with patients in the community to support them at home with their chronic respiratory conditions, as well as in their pulmonary rehabilitation rehab journey.
For me, one of the most rewarding parts of the job is being able to support patients in their own home because it allows you to develop closer therapeutic relationships and create a unique bond with your patients. In our team we have Specialist Nurses, Physiotherapists and Respiratory support workers, and we work closely with the wider Multidisciplinary Team.
We are looking for a qualified and registered Physiotherapist, but our goal is to find someone with passion and interest in respiratory conditions and supporting people in their own homes. Therefore, we are happy to consider candidates without community and/or respiratory training.
Main duties of the jobCambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.
Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services not only via inpatient and primary care setting but also with the community. These services include Children, Adult & Older Peoples mental & physical health, Forensic & Specialist mental health, Learning Disabilities, Primary Care & Liaison psychiatry, Substance misuse, Social care, Research & Development.
To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high calibre candidates that share our vision & values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people & members of our ethnic minorities & LGBTQ+ communities.
